Oh you have to love pinterest! The best ideas for throwing a first birthday party! Granted, you spend most of the time running around serving everybody, but having prepared everything ahead of time gave us more time to take some pictures and talk to grandma and grandpa on skype. We knew our daughter had a blast! At the beginning of the party she looked like a little flower fairy, and at the end of the party she looked like cookie monster gone bad. Covered in all sorts of gunk, with her hair in every which way. As a birthday princess rightfully should. I had a blast preparing the party, baking a cake, making jello. And it really isn't all that hard to do!
